A number of resource-intensive applications, such as augmented reality, natural language
processing, object recognition, and multimedia-based software are pushing the …

Binary lifting and recompilation allow a wide range of install-time program transformations,
such as security hardening, deobfuscation, and reoptimization. Existing binary lifting tools …

The need to analyze and execute binaries from legacy ISAs on new or different ISAs has
been addressed in a variety of ways over the past few decades. Solutions using …

Playing Android games on Windows x86 PCs has gained enormous popularity in recent
years, and the de facto solution is to use mobile emulators built with the AOVB (Android-x86 …

Compile-time specialization and feature pruning through static binary rewriting have been
proposed repeatedly as techniques for reducing the attack surface of large programs, and …

In the era of mobile and cloud computing, cross-ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) binary
translation attracts increasing attentions due to the ISA diversity of computing platforms. To …

Binary translators, which translate the binary executables from one instruction set to another,
are useful tools. Indirect branches are one of the key factors that affect the efficiency of …

Binary rewriting consists in disassembling a program to modify its instructions. However,
existing solutions suffer from shortcomings in terms of soundness and performance. We …

To reduce the source of potential exploits, binary debloating or specialization tools are used
to remove unnecessary code from binaries. This paper presents a new binary debloating …

Binary translation translates binary programs from one instruction set to another. It is widely
used in virtual machines and emulators. We extend mc2llvm, which is an LLVM-based …
